Don't Get Around Much Any More

Written by Bob Russel
and Duke Ellington

This song has been
performed by Big Walter, Kim Wilson and others. It has a couple of easy bends
so it's a good practice piece. It's not blues, but since major blues artists
have recorded it you can feel safe in learning and performing it.

1/31/200 - put this up. It looks right, but I am at work and can't whip out
a harp to check it. I'll print it out and check it on the way home. Don't trust
this until at least 2/3/2000.

(Repeat last two verses)

Awfully different without you
Don't get around much anymore

The tab icons are set so that if you click (or touch) them it will play a harmonica note. All songs are set to play with a "C" harmonica in cross harp (2nd position)
so the song or riff will be in the key of "G".
The exception will be the riffs where the little menu comes up and it allows you to play in first or third position or correct the key. You still will use a "C harp, but they song key will be "C" or "D" accordingly.

Buy the Book!

I cleaned up my tab for Sonny Boy's Help Me and made it into a short book. There's a Kindle version for 99 cents, and if you buy the paperback you get the Kindle free.

I began collecting data about the microphones used by blue harp players before there was an
internet. I began organizing it into JT30.com in the late 1990s. I accumulated more stuff than I remember. This is some of it.

A collection of songs and riffs that I’ve worked out over the years, plus some libraries of stuff I’ve converted to tablature. I’ve included most of the notes and instructions that helped me when I was learning to play blues harmonica.
